It pairs perfectly with semi-matt foundations with a slightly firmer texture. I originally used RMK liquid foundation, and I loved the RMK flat brush. However, when I switched to Lancôme foundation and Guerlain Parureux, both of which have a slightly firmer texture and quick-adhesion semi-matt finish, I found that they were a terrible match for the RMK flat brush. So I bought a Shu Uemura brush, which had good reviews. It turned out to be a very good purchase. It applies evenly and quickly. It evens out excess oil while applying, so it doesn't smudge. It doesn't leave any streaks of foundation. However, since it creates a very matte finish, if you want a more radiant look, you'll probably want to create that glow later with a highlighter or balm. However, I think the base is durable and this matte finish is just right. I haven't tried it, but I suspect it wouldn't pair well with foundations with a dewy, dewy texture like RMK. This brush seems like it would work well with foundation. I also use Shu Uemura's brush cleaner for maintenance.
It adheres to pores, making it easy to apply around the corners of your nose and eyes, and the finish is better than with a regular sponge. It gives a finish that makes your skin look naturally beautiful.
I received this brush as a gift and am using it now. The bristles are dense and don't irritate the skin, but they do feel a bit stiff. Lightly applying a small amount of foundation with this brush is incredibly beautiful! It seems like it would work well with foundation that isn't too shiny. It doesn't smudge easily and covers pores beautifully, so I love it!
It applies so much more beautifully than cream foundation! It applies evenly and without streaks or unevenness. You can control the intensity by adjusting the amount used and the application method, and it blends the lines beautifully! It's even better if you don't have to blot with a tissue after each use and cleanse with a brush once a week. I bought Pikachu a few years ago because of the packaging, and I'm just now starting to use it again, wondering why I didn't use it back then! But I was young when I bought it, so I realized that the foundation applied beautifully without the need for a brush. I used the Dior Prestige White Protector UV Lumiere Clé de Peau Beauté Le Fond de Teint La Prairie SC Concealer Foundation.
